Jockey James McDonald has been on fire in the first two months of the season, but he wants to get off his group 1 duck with Broadsiding in the Golden Rose.

Champion jockey James McDonald is in the zone and everyone can see it, from his sit in the saddle to the results he has produced in the first couple of months of the season.

He has won more than a quarter of the races run in Sydney this season, but the competitive beast in McDonald looks at the zero that sits in the group 1 column for season 2024-25 and wants that to change. McDonald has connections with the biggest stables. The 14-time champion trainer Chris Waller supplies the bulk of his winners, but it will be a star colt from global powerhouse Godolphin, Broadsiding, that could give him a first group 1 of the season in the Golden Rose at Rosehill on Saturday.“I know it will come but I want it to come quicker,” McDonald said of the group 1 victory. “He is the right colt.

“Winning is everything to him,” Waller said. “He can tell you more about horses in every race than you know, and, added to that he is a horseman and pretty good athlete as well. It’s a great mix.
